I just installed 29k. Now I have problems with speed. Gnome-terminal starts extremely slow and when I start gnome, the splash screen is on for about one minute. Other applications seem to start at normal speed.

Also, if it was a new install, it could be that something like slocate or the prelinker was running. These normally run at 4am or so, but run soon after booting up on a new install. In other words, the problem may just disappear.

I also installed kde-packages to try konsole and it is even slower than gnome-terminal. It's interesting that applications like firefox or synaptic start in a second but gnome-terminal takes a lot longer. How can that be? Is it possible that some program that both gnome-terminal and konsole use is broken or buggy?

I remembered that some time ago I upgraded blag 19k to fc3 and it worked just fine. I never had any problems with 19k. I decided to do that again but instead of fc3 I would use 29k. I installed 19k and am now using it. I now have the same problem that I had with 29k. Gnome doesn't work properly.

Do you have any ideas on how to figure out what is broken? It could be my hardware. Or is there a possibility that this happens because of BIOS settings. I think I haven't touched them other than changing the primary boot device when installing new operating systems. Also, it is odd that xfce and kde seem to work just fine.

I installed 29k again and I still have the same problem. I changed blag to start at runlevel 3 so that it would start a little faster because I realized that gdm is also slow. It takes a lot longer to start kde or xfce from runlevel 3 than from runlevel 5.
